Star Wars annual #1 - Walt Simonson cover

Walt Simonson

Star Wars v1 annual #1, 1979 - On the cover of this king-size annual, Luke Skywalker braces against a trio of attackers. Walt Simonson's drawing looks more hurried than carefully planned. The geometric designs, a recurring motif in his work, in this case seem sterile and monotonous. In addition to this annual, Simonson would also illustrate sixteen issues of the regular Star Wars series. Other artists in this issue include Mike Vosburg and Steve Leialoha. This is number 1 of 1 Star Wars annual issues with Simonson art and/or covers.
